I turned 22 years young yesterday. I feel like 22 will be a good year for me (I hope I’m right with this). I made three lists that must get done before I turn 23 on December 8th, 2011. I have 22 goals. I have 22 things I want to see/do. I also have 22 things to learn. I actually had more to write down, but I guess there can always be a being 23 list! I have an overflowing need to get a lot done; I’m pretty excited to get started! So, welcome to my journey of being 22. Life’s too short to sit around and wait.
